Translation

And when the true promise (The Doomsday) will come to emerge, the eyes of the deniers will freeze. (They will say) “Woe upon us! We truly were unaware of this. In fact, we were oppressors.”

Tafsir

The true promise means death and judgment, both of which are real and true. When one of these two things comes to man, then he wails. Allah (swt) says in His verse (felawla iza belagatil hulkum) that when a person is at the end of his rope (wa wa entum hiyna izin tenzurun) at that moment we are closer to him than you are, but you cannot see him, then he sees his destination with the power of Allah's knowledge. He says to Allah (swt), 'Send me back again and see how I will worship you. Allah (swt) says that since He will not change the destiny of people, and their destiny will not change, if we send you back to this world not once but several times, you will still do the same deed. So they will lament and say, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers.

When those who disbelieved in Allah and the Hereafter were invaded by Ye'jjj and Me'jjj, the signs of the Hour began. They realized that Allah's promise is true. They will say, 'Woe to us, we were ignorant of this, and we were even cruel people.

What is said in the video

And when the true promise, death, the Day of Judgment, draws near — Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 97 — And when the true promise, death, the Day of Judgment, draws near, suddenly the eyes of those who deny will stare fixed. "Woe to us," they say. "Truly, we were unaware of this." Yes.

The verse is squeezed at the bottom, it does not open, it has not moved to the other side either, the page has shrunk. Yes, what does it say? We read the verse again, Surah Al-Anbiya. And when the true promise, death, the Day of Judgment, draws near, suddenly the eyes of those who deny will stare fixed. "Woe to us," they say. "Truly, we were unaware of this. Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

By the true promise are meant death and the Day of Judgment, both of which are true and real. When one of these two comes upon a person, then the person laments. Allah Almighty says in His verse: Fe levlâ izâ beleğati'l-hulkûm. When the soul reaches the throat, Ve entüm hîne'izin tenzurûn. At that moment We are nearer to him than you, but you cannot see. In this state, the person sees the place he will reach through Allah's knowledge and power. He says to Allah Almighty: send me back once more, see how I will worship You. Since Allah Almighty will make no change in people's destinies, and their destinies will not change either, He says: even if We sent you into the world not once but several more times, you would do the same thing again.

For this reason, in this state, they lament: "Truly, we were wrongdoers," they say. And at the coming of the Day of Judgment, those who deny Allah and the Hereafter, when Gog and Magog invade them, the signs of the Day of Judgment have now begun. They have understood that Allah's promise is true. "Woe to us, we were unaware of this, indeed we were wrongdoers," they say, lamenting.
